Last night in the beautiful ambience of Rector's Palace, the most beautiful concert hall in the world, a concert of Pepe Romero and the Zagreb Soloists was held. I really enjoyed in the first part of the  performance of these excellent artists which I can't say for the second part. 

Their playing in the second part of the concert was impecable, but the program didn't really suit my taste. However during their perfomance I looked around and noticed a very interesting thing. Despite of all of the technological wonders that spoiled us and became something we can't live without, it's impossible to install an air conditioner in such a place so the good old fan was back in use again and not just among the women but men as well. Coool!
